Hippies lounge outside in Moscow, 1977. Three people sit in row on the ground. The rightmost person is only in partial view. The men at left and center sit in the same pose. Both sit on the ground with slightly bent knees, their forearms resting on their thighs and their hands crossed between their knees. They also appear to carry the same bag. A dark rectangular bag with light-colored piping lays on the ground in the lower left corner. A very similar bag rests against the back of the man at center. The man at left has short hair and wears a t-shirt with a cartoon character and English text. The man at center has long hair and is shirtless.
